Don’t do it! Everyone I know who has worked at wayfair leaves after a year or 2 because they pay way below industry average.

Also if you want to live in any good areas in Boston (near Wayfair office), COL is very comparable to NYC.
PM me if you want more details! I know a ton of people who worked at Wayfair at some point.

What does owning a P&L mean to you, because when I have that responsibility it means way more stress which should equal more pay.

At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so.
